Hi Glen, It will depend on what the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) is of your trailer to determine which B&W 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter will work best for you. Fifth wheels and gooseneck trailers go off of pin weight instead of tongue…
Hey Jeff! The MORryde GooseTech 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box #MR97MV comes with a Demco eZ-Latch. The best option for a lock is the InfiniteRule Lock for Cast Demco eZ-Latch Trailer Couplers #IR66FR. This is designed to for a standard coupler but…
Hey Fred! You will need to take some measurements to determine if you will have enough clearance with the B&W Gooseneck Pin Box #BW23RV. You can use the following formula: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from the gooseneck ball center to the…
Hi David, that’s a really good question and I’m glad you’re looking at the bigger picture here, because this is exactly where people start thinking about long term stress and not just whether something will fit. Before I get into that, The Gen-Y…
Hey John, this is a great question. I asked B and W about whether or not the B and W Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck adapter part #BW73RV would void the frame warranty and they said it has been extensively tested and engineered to provide a smooth, stable…
Hey Dave! Yes, your 2024 Brinkley Z3100 can use the B&W 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box like #BW73RV. This is designed for a Lippert 1621/1621HD bolt pattern. More than likely your Brinkley came equipped with a Rhino Box so the correct replacement…
Hi Bruce; the MORryde GooseTech 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box #MR97MV doesn't have any real vertical movement. However, the rubber spring will still absorb and dampen road shock at the connection point within the pin box. The rubber sheer spring…
Hey Peter, in general with a short bed truck you will need a slider hitch to make sharp turns but in recent years they have started making fifth wheel campers with more tapered noses and extended pin boxes to allow for short bed trucks to be able to…
Hey Bill, The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box #GY48GR has an 18.08" measurement from the center of the coupler to the center of the first bolt holes. When switching to a gooseneck pin box from the Lippert Turning Point…
Hello Levan, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Gen-Y Hitch Nomad 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box #GY57ND is made to replace the Lippert 1621 pin box so the bolt hole spacing and dimensions are the same. Your cab and tailgate clearance will be…
Greg, with your 1716 pin box, the Gen-Y Nomad #GY57ND is the correct model, and it maintains essentially the same front-cap-to-ball distance as your factory box - meaning no added turning clearance, but also no reduction. Gen-Y lists it as offering…
I spoke with my contact at Trailair and from your serial number we were able to determine that your trailer came with a 1621 HD pin box which is a long pin box style. I was unable to obtain the exact part number for your Trailair pin box but from the…
Easy place to shop. Fast delivery and great products. Very happy with my purchase.

5th Wheel Gooseneck Adapters with Bolts Over King Pin
Convert your 5th wheel to a gooseneck ball using adapters with bolts over king pin. Install on-site with a couple of wrenches, and towing was smooth on long trips; some offer an offset to help short bed maneuvering. Not compatible with cushioned pin boxes, and choosing straight versus offset can prevent bed contact on certain setups.
Use straight on long beds or when an offset makes the setup too long. Offset helps short beds by moving the pivot back for maneuverability. Check for bed-rail and box clearance at sharper angles; some truck and short pin box combos can contact the bed with an offset. If you see side contact, go straight.
Hooking up to the gooseneck ball is quick and towing can feel smooth and easy. Some versions include poly cushions that help absorb shock, vibration, and bounce—choose a cushioned design if you want that feel. If you leave the adapter on the trailer, verify height and latch engagement before each move.
Installation is typically straightforward with basic wrenches. Have a 3/8 torx bit on hand—it's not in many standard sets. After clamping to the king pin, add the four bolts through the extension to help prevent rotation. Recheck fastener tightness after your first short test tow.
No, this style is not compatible with a cushioned pin box. If you have a cushioned pin box, swap to a gooseneck-ready pin box matched to your trailer's pin box number. These gooseneck pin boxes are not universal, so confirm the exact pin box model on your trailer before choosing.
